School Law Anne nd ments.

House bill No. 93, covering several
important amendments to the present
school law, became law yesterday by
the approval of the Governor, But
whether it takes effect all over the Terri
tory at once or by gradual advance from
the Capital at the rate of fifteen miles
per day, is nice and curious question
that we fear is likely to produce some
confusion. This general provision Of
our statute, found on page 572 of the Re-
vised Statutes, makes it applicable only
to such acts as declare that they take
effect from and after their passage and
approval by the Governor" This bill
does not 30 declare, neither does it fix
the date when it shall go into effect, as
provided in section 1856. 1t would seem
therefore, that the date and manner Of
its taking effect is wholly unprovided for
by statute and mst be left to the opera.
